In this episode, Carin Luna-Ostaseski takes us through her inspiring story of identifying a gap in support and resources for women experiencing perimenopause and menopause. We discuss natural strategies and products that have helped Carin and many others to ease symptoms and embrace this life stage. From cooling wearable fans to mindful meditation practices, we cover practical advice to help you confidently navigate through menopause. Whether you're just starting your menopause journey, are knee-deep in it, or watching from the sidelines, you'll find something valuable here.

5 Key Lessons:

  1. Universal Experience: Menopause is a normal phase every woman goes through. Embracing it as a shared journey can help in finding support and resources.
  2. The Importance of Sleep: Carin emphasizes that good sleep can reduce many menopause symptoms, offering tips like magnesium intake, proper exercise routines, and the right sleepwear.
  3. Mindful Relationships: Communication and appreciation are key in relationships, especially during menopause. Practice patience and avoid impulsive reactions.
  4. Self-care Products: Exploring natural tools like cooling bedding and meditation apps can greatly alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.
  5. Entrepreneurial Spirit: Carin's transition from the liquor industry to founding Hot or Just Me highlights the power of following your passion and supporting fellow women entrepreneurs.
